Biography
Herbert von Bose was born on 16 March 1893 in Strasbourg, Alsace-Lorraine, which was occupied by the German Empire. He served as an intelligence officer of the Imperial German Army during World War I, and after the war he worked with the Reichswehr and later the press department of the Vice Chancellery of the Weimar Republic. He detested the vulgar rabble-rouser Adolf Hitler and his fascist Nazi Party, and he was one of the men sentenced to death by Hitler in the 1934 Night of the Long Knives. On 30 June 1934 he was shot dead in the Borsig Palace, and Albert Speer recorded finding his body and avoiding the room from then on.
